- - Do you buy Gaming magazines? (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=93072)

most UK gaming magazines give me a nervous twitch..lol
i bought them for a while (PC GAMER etc etc) then realised that no mater what the issue was the content was exactly the same..same jokes same reviews everything..the only reliable thing about them was that if they thought a game was use-less then it was probably worth buying..and if they thought a game was absolutley brilliant -then i should avoid that game like the plague..

bit wierd.. :hmm:

only magazine i buy on occasion is PC PLUS or PC FORMAT which do have a gameing section -as they seem to be more conservative in their views on what makes a good game..they have good cover discs and are full of tutorials on just about every aspect of computing etc ...they usually have a sexy cover too--(PC FORMAT) LOL-- bit of a contradiction that last one ..

I used to buy a lot of gaming magazines before but I stoped.
Nowdays I buy at most 3 magazines a year.

Polish magazine called "CD-ACTION" and PC Gamer.

PC Plus is a good tech mag with nice full versions, hardly any games mentioned, but good all the same, haven't brought PC Plus since NZ upped the price to $29 for a magazine!! (yes i am tight with my money) :roll:
